Icarus Stormcannon Array
The Icarus Stormcannon Array is a Space Marine anti-aircraft platform mounted on Stalker vehicles.[1]
Overview
The Icarus Stormcannon Array replaced the Daedalus Stormcannon, which was in use during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[5] Made up of two independently traversing turrets of triple-barreled cannons and a large radar dish, the Icarus Stormcannon Array can track and fire at two separate aerial targets simultaneously. The cannons have a high rate of fire and can launch hundreds of solid rounds into the sky,[1][2] thanks to its large ammunition storage. The Icarus Stormcannon is slaved to a cogitator array, consisting of several linked mono-task servitors.[4]
The Icarus Stormcannon also is one of the main weapons of Stormhawk Interceptor.[3] Finally, the Icarus Stormcannon Array can be used as a stationary anti-aircraft installation by itself.[4]
